Rainy Day Playtime

Wednesday was the monthly meeting of my Salem Art Group and it was a full day of arty playing. Katy, one of our members, owns the Art Department in downtown Salem (well, she owns it with her husband . . .) and at the back of the store is a lovely, big, bright work space. Wednesday had our name written all over it. One of the things I did was deconstruct the monstrosity of a skirt that I'm modeling in the above photo. While I started in on that, the other ladies started in on a variety of their own projects (after we did about a two hour show and tell!).

I was the first to arrive . . .

. . . but in no time at all we had taken over all of the tables!

I spent the day working on two Fearless Faces makeovers; I just felt they needed a new look. So here are the two faces, before and after!

About Me

I am a woman trying to navigate being 50-something, to not dwell too much on getting older, and reminding myself constantly to live in the moment. I am a woman who loves books, reading, and used bookstores (especially Powell's in downtown Portland). I am a woman who is discovering art after years of raising kids, working, and going to school. I am a woman who loves collage, painting, mixed media, and assemblage. I am a woman who loves gunkholing in junk stores and picking trash up off the street just for the thrill of its possibilities. I am a woman who has a mantra to BE BOLD.
